Morris and general manager Mark Dominik will have to do one hell of a sell job on Barry, which could include a slight raise and a title change to ensure Barry remains with the Bucs in 2010.

Currently the team has no one who carries the title as defensive coordinator, after the ousting of Jim Bates 10-games into the 2009 regular season. While Morris has taken over as play caller, there is no coach carrying the job title.

But to persuade Barry into staying and passing up job security in the College ranks with a looming work stoppage on the horizon for the NFL in 2011, one would think Barry is looking to get his name and reputation restored after the debacle in Detroit. But to do so would need at least a higher job title to restore some luster to his name.
